DEVA Police ABC are not relaxing and enjoying the off-season as boxing traditionally takes its end-of-season break.

The club is keeping things going with an open training session planned for Sunday, August 21.

The session at the club’s Marley Way base will be run by Hatton Promotions super bantamweight fighter Rhys Roberts.

Last time Roberts – nicknamed Pure Silk – attended an open session with the club the crowds descended on Saltney and, due to popular demand, he has agreed to return.

He will not be the only star name appearing at the session. Former heavyweight fighter Joe Egan – dubbed ‘the toughest white man on the planet’ by former opponent Mike Tyson, will also be there to chat and sign autographs.

Other names scheduled include Shea Neary – whose fight against Micky Ward is chronicled in Hollywood blockbuster The Fighter – and possible former WBC World super middleweight champion Robin Reid.

There will a collection of donations to the club on the day and a raffle.

These big names of boxing have agreed to attend this event to help raise funds Deva Police ABC to send a team of fighters over to Ireland to take on Dunboyne ABC and Crumlin ABC on their Christmas shows.

The open training session at the Marley Way gym will begin at 2.30pm on Sunday, August 21.
